To accomplish transitional justice, participatory processes are needed that elicit youths' cultural strengths and wisdom about themselves, their social conditions, services they find helpful, and wh…
We are not all gangbangers
Centering youth voices in a participatory cross-age mentoring program in urban high-poverty communities, this paper addresses three problems in knowledge about youth of color experiencing low-income: 1) Misrepresenting youth as disproportionately violence-prone, 2) minimizing stressors youth experience, and 3) ignoring youths' goals. Those knowledge problems can be framed as a contemporary form of DuBois' construct of "scientific racism." To coun…

Method: Data were collected from a sample of 185 Black American eighth-grade students ( M = 13.58 years old, 59% female). Results: Just under hal…
Positive Peer Association Among Black American Youth and the Roles of Ethnic Identity and Gender
The study examined whether peer association, a subtype of peer influence that involves the indirect modeling of behaviors, can promote positive development among Black American adolescents living in high-risk neighborhoods. Data were collected during a three-year longitudinal study from a sample of 316 Black American adolescents (M = 11.65 years). As positive peer association increased over time, youth experienced an increase in self-esteem, scho…

Gender Differences in Monitoring and Deviant Peers as Predictors of Delinquent Behavior Among Low-Income Urban African American Youth

This study examines the role of peer deviance in mediating the influence of adult monitoring on male and female adolescents’ delinquent behavior, using multisource, multimethod data with an emphasis…
